Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I Own The Most Books From

The topic this week is: Top Ten Authors I Own The Most Books From

I don't own a ton of paperbacks anymore since I do most of my reading on my kindle. So most of these will be counted from kindle books, though I do still "own" them in a sense. :)

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.



1. Chautona Havig
I own 13 of her kindle books plus numerous "episodes" from her serial stories, but I've actually only read 4 of the books. It's all because of those free kindle sale days... I can't help but snatch things up when I see them!

2. Bonnie Blythe
I own 8 of her kindle books, but I've only read 2 of them.

3. Shanna Swendson
I have all 7 books from the "Enchanted, Inc" series. Which, by the way, is my favorite series of all time! :)

4. Christine Lynxwiler
I have 7 of her books, but I've only read 3. I really should remedy that...

5. Siri Mitchell
I have 7 of her books, and I've read them all.

6. Tracie Peterson
I have 7 of her books, but I've only read 1 of them so far.

7. Amanda Hamm
I have 6 of her books, and I've read them all!

8. Karen Witemeyer
I have 6 of her books, and I've read them all!

9. Judy Pace Christie
I have all 5 books from her "Green" series, but sadly I haven't read any of them yet.

10. Nancy Moser
I have 5 of her books, but haven't read any of them yet.

I figured this list would ultimately look similar to a list of my favorite authors, but surprisingly it actually doesn't. While some definitely are my favorites, there's others on here that I've never even read before. I seriously blame it on the free kindle sale books though. I check for freebies every day and snatch up anything I might like. It's a good thing for my wallet, but I think it's made this list slightly strange, LOL.

Thanks for stopping by!

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I'd Want With Me On A Deserted Island

The topic this week is "Top Ten Characters That I Would Want With Me On A Deserted Island". I'm not sure if this is supposed to be strictly book characters or not, but I'm going to go a little crazy and include tv/movie characters as well.


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

1. Jack Bauer (24)

This is just an obvious choice. Anything that needs doing, he's the man to get it done. One thing's for sure: with Jack around, everyone on the island would be safe! Unless they turned out to be a traitor or something...

 

2. Maya Davis (from Cool Beans by Erynn Mangum)

She seems to have my exact sense of humor, and I think we'd get along really well. In a deserted island scenario, you gotta have a good friend.

3. Samantha Carter (Stargate SG-1)

If there was any technology on the island, she's the one I'd want working on it. Plus, she'd also come in handy in survival scenarios.

 

4. Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)

I couldn't not include a Gilmore on this list, so I chose Rory. I think she'd handle the deserted island scenario *slightly* better than Lorelai. :)

 

5. MacGyver

A handyman would be invaluable on a desert island, and who better to have than MacGyver!?

 

6. Jack Bartlett (Heartland)

Every scenario needs an older character, and Jack Bartlett is my choice for that slot. He has a lot of common sense wisdom, and a humorous way of getting his point across.

7. Elyse McCord (Cowgirl at Heart by Christine Lynxwiler)

I just finished reading this book and I really liked Elyse. I don't have any huge reason for picking her, but regardless, I'm still choosing her!

 

 8. Jade McKinley (Dancing With Fireflies by Denise Hunter)

Again, I don't have a solid reason for choosing her, except that I really liked her and the book is one of my favorites.

  9. Oliver O'Toole (Signed, Sealed, Delivered)

 This seems like a strange choice, but I gotta admit that some of the other characters I've chosen don't have the best moral compass. Oliver has that, and I think he'd be a great asset in that respect.

 

10. Jack Shepherd (LOST)

Yes, he's low on my list, but I figure that a doctor is always good to have around. And it doesn't hurt that he already has some island experience!

This was fun, but also kind of difficult. I tried to think logically, so I obviously couldn't include characters from historical stories. Yes, I admit MacGyver isn't very current compared to all my other choices. Oh well.

How well would all these random characters get along? Hard to tell, but sadly I'm afraid it probably wouldn't be good. Nevertheless, I had fun with this!
